The 2024 Mazda CX-50 is a petrol SUV with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 1 generation. The 2.5 S Preferred Plus is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 2.5 S Preferred Plus version develops 187 hp and 252 Nm (186 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 8.2 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 195 km/h (121 mph). Its power output is about 31% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 13% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 8.2 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 58.0 litres (15.3 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 187 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,741 mm (186.7 in) in length, 1,919 mm (75.6 in) in width, and 1,625 mm (64.0 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,815 mm (110.8 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 889 litres (31.4 cu ft), expanding to 1,708 litres (60.3 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,630 kg (3,594 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 1,588 kg (3,501 lb). That cargo volume is about 56% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol SUV models from the same period, the 2024 Mazda CX-50 is strongest on cargo capacity and price, while power and towing capacity stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
